Mike Bloomberg and his team have raised more than $16 million to pay the court fines and fees of nearly 32,000 Black and Hispanic Florida voters with felony convictions, an effort aimed at boosting turnout for Joe Biden.https://wapo.st/3kxwxLs
The great thing about this effort is that even if it doesn't win the election, it will at least help all these people. Donating to politics always depresses me because when you lose it's like the money was just burnt.

Wouldn’t it be nice if money didn’t matter in how we elect our leaders?
